What is Beta?

Hinglish mein padhein: Stock ka beta kya hota hai?

Beta measures how much a stock tends to move relative to the market. A beta of 1.2 means it has moved about 20% more than the index on average.

Defensive stocks such as FMCG often have betas below 1; cyclical and high-debt companies tend to have betas above 1.

Beta is based on past data and can change.
